Andrea tried sleeping but she couldn't. For a change her mind was occupied with good memories of the night. She kept thinking how Elijah's breath felt against her neck or how his scent made her shiver or how his hands travelled all over her body. Every touch, nip and suck kept her awake. Just her thoughts made her wet and she couldn't wait to meet him again.
Elijah thought about his lover. He had never been intimate with a woman before. He smiled when he remembered her mewls. Her green eyes and smile were equally captivating. He couldn't believe his kismet. He had met his mate and he would never let her go.
Andrea greeted her parents the next day with a smile. Her parents asked her about her decision about her betrothed and she casually dismissed saying she would meet him when she felt the time was right. She couldn't wait to go back to the pond and meet her lover.
Elijah woke up with a big smile and greeted everybody. His happiness didn't go unnoticed. Rebekah asked, " What or who changed your mood brother?" Elijah laughed and said, " I met an angel last night in my dreams and she told me to be happy". To that Rebekah remarked, "Is that so? Do you think your angel would like to greet us also in our dreams?" Elijah chuckled saying, " Maybe not" and left. He met his father next who he again asked for permission to hunt alone that day. He convinced his father and head out to the forest.
He came to the pond and waited a few minutes before Andrea came from the other side. She had the biggest smile on her face. She ran towards him and hugged him tightly. She then proceeded to kiss him, a kiss he happily returned. She then pointed towards a tree and Elijah picked her up bridal style and sat under the tree with her on his lap. She kissed him again with more passion. He broke the kiss after a while and began kissing her all over her face, making her giggle. Elijah felt like the happiest man on earth when he heard her giggle.
Andrea asked him about his family. She knew his father was not a good man. But wanted to know more about the remaining members. Elijah began describing his family members and his bond with his siblings, specially Rebekah, Henrik and Klaus. Andrea loved how he was so protective of his siblings and a little jealous as she never had a sibling she could share her experiences with. It was her turn to share about her life. She spoke about her alpha parents and her pack. Elijah was saddened when she told him about her betrothal with a neighbouring wolf pack. But she kissed him deeply and removed his fears when she said, " My heart belongs to you. I will run away from here if it meant I get to live the rest of my life with you." He kissed her chastely on her lips and said, " I promise to keep you safe and love you as my mate, always and forever" He kissed her passionately with his hands roaming about her back and legs. She moaned into his mouth and broke the kiss for air. They decided to meet again at night at the same spot like last night. They left the pond with Elijah leaving to hunt his family's dinner to content his father.
The night came. Andrea reached the spot before Elijah and waited patiently. When Elijah came she ran and kissed passionately on his lips. They made love again and again under the clear sky. With their naked bodies wrapped around each other they stared at the beautiful sky. They were sticky from the sweat and their release but couldn't be bothered as they were deeply in love.
Next day, Elijah geared up for his " independent hunt sessions" when both Henrik and Klaus asked him to take them with him. He asked them to give him some more alone hunting time and promised them that he would take them hunting soon. With that he left alone and met Andrea at the pond. He saw her sitting under the tree worried. He asked her about her worries and she said, " The full moon is in 5 days, Elijah. I would turn into a wolf" Elijah knew that she hated her transition into a wolf. To assure her he said, " I would wait for you at our special place when you turn" To that she immediately replied, " No you will not! The forest would be full of angry of wolves. You will not risk your life. I forbid you to!" Elijah couldn't help but laugh at her prohibition. He loved how possessive and caring she got in just 3 days of knowing him. He kissed gently on her lips.
They again met that night. They made love to each other but this time Andrea took charge and was on top the entire time. She pleasured him orally by licking and swallowing his shaft , earning herself a groan from him. He placed her in his lap and kissed her neck and breasts, earning himself a moan from her. She then impaled herself on his member and grinded till they both reached their release.
They both continued their tryst until the fateful day of full moon night.
